European demand for #greenhydrogen is expected to be eight times lower than the objectives set by the European Union for 2030, underlines the CEA (The French Energies and Atomic Energy Commission). An observation highlighted by the CEO of TotalEnergies during the World Economic Forum at the end of April. Arcelor Mittal itself announced that it wanted to abandon green hydrogen in its European steelworks, despite the billions of euros in subsidies received for the transition. One of the issues is the business model, which is not yet set. The water sector can also produce green hydrogen. Do we have a better vision and prospective outlook?

An interesting article, this makes one wonder what is and will be happening with Flying Whales. We can wonder the same about the other 2 projects will many millions to spend on questionable designs - Hybrid Air Vehicles and LTA Research. We should include the Lockheed Martin hybrid airship project as well. This article does have its flaws, so is not totally believable either. For example, no commercial airship would fly at only 30 knots and so make no headway against 30 knot winds, which indeed occur only rarely at the low altitude that airships operate at. So, this is NOT to be believed as an informed report but as a criticism to be investigated to see what the TRUTH really is, which is VERY sorely lacking in the HIGH-HYPE and high-dollar world of LTA. https://lnkd.in/ebPaznQh

VoltR, a French manufacturer of sustainable lithium batteries, has raised €4 million in a seed funding round that included C4 Ventures, Exergon, Pays de la Loire Participations, and ANJOU AMORCAGE, and more. VoltR will use the proceeds to continue the development of a pilot plant, industrialise its refurbishment processes, carry out research and development, and for new hires. In addition to the seed funding round, VoltR has launched a Series A funding round of ‘several tens of millions of euros’, which is expected to close by Q4 2024. “Our aim is to build a European circular economy for lithium batteries in order to minimise their environmental impact,” said Alban Regnier, President and Founder of VoltR. “The largest lithium deposit is not buried within mines, but rather found in our homes.” Founded in 2022, VoltR manufactures batteries for a variety of applications from used products that retain 80% of their storage capacity on average. VoltR has raised a total of €2 million in seed capital and a further €2 million as a combination of debt and grants. #cleanenergy

As usual, the datacamp organized by #DAMA_France last night at the prestigious Ecole Nationale des Arts et Métiers (#ENSAM) in Paris was very interesting. Gilles B. from #Veolia presented the recent history of the Veolia's Data Office he is leading, which began just 2 years ago with 3 objectives: 1/ To solidify the group's data standards, 2/ To modernize the data platform, 3/ To develop the data culture within the group.  But a fourth objective quickly emerged from the group's governance: to make Veolia a world leader in the use of AI for #energy transformation. It was clear that the advent of generative AI has disrupted a little the initial Data Office program, but also opened up a host of new possibilities for improving both data flows and Veolia's data culture. All this confirms our approach at #AgileDD: more than ever, AI is the key to accelerating the creation of value from documents! #AI #DAMA #DataManagement

Today, we are going to talk about cryogenics & cooling to improve aircraft propulsion. Ludovic Ybanez: Yes, exactly. We announced a project called #CryoProp, which is a new phase in Airbus’ strategy to make electric aircraft possible, specifically electric propulsion. Host: When we talk about electric aircraft, are we referring to planes with batteries, or those that can also be powered by H2? LY: Here, we are talking solely about H2-powered aircraft. The aim of the project and the concept is to use the cold from LH2 to cool the electric propulsion system. We use an electric propulsion system like in a Zoe or a Tesla with the same components, but instead of cooling it with water, we use the cold from the LH2 to enhance performance. Host: So, this is an electric motor driving a propeller, as we might see in a turboprop, but the propulsion is electric? LY: Exactly, the propeller is driven by an electric motor. Host: And why do we need to cool an electric motor? LY: In any case, we need to cool it because, in power electronics or a motor, we need to extract the losses. So typically, even in cars, cooling is through a liquid cooling system at ambient temperature. But to increase performance & we need to for aircraft technology, one strategy, and in our case, the main strategy, is to cool it as much as we can. By significantly cooling the electronics & #motors, we reduce losses and increase performance. Host: What is the current efficiency of electric motors? They are supposed to be three times more efficient than thermal engines, correct? Ludovic: It depends on the technology, but typically, the efficiency of a permanent magnet motor is about 96-97%, which is already very high. Host: For aircraft, every kg we carry is significant because we have to lift it. How big of a difference do these 4-5% improvements in efficiency make? LY: It makes a huge difference. Reducing the entire system's weight reduces the size of the fuel cells & thus the amount of H2 needed. This reduction leads to a snowball effect where the overall aircraft weight decreases, requiring less structure. These improvements significantly enhance the aircraft's performance. Host: Using #superconductivity, which means cooling mtlsto a point where they conduct electricity without loss? LY: Yes, exactly. Not all matls, but certain classes of matls become superconductors when cooled to very low temps. This phenomenon allows for transporting huge amounts of electricity without losses. Host: How cold are we talking here, given that planes fly at -50°C (-58°F)? LY: We are talking about very low temperatures, around 70K, which is about -200°C (-328°F). We maintain these temps. using highly efficient insulation systems. Host: And your source of cold is LH2? Ludovic: Yes, the H2 is maintained at very low temperatures, around -253°C (-418°F). We use the cold from the H2 to cool the propulsion system instead of typical heating processes, significantly performance boost.

🔋 Electric Vehicles: A Strategic Sector Dominated by China? The shift toward electric mobility is now inevitable, yet one observation stands out: Europe appears to be lagging once again, with Chinese products occupying a significant portion of the electric vehicle (EV) market. 🌍 According to the recent analysis by Le Dessous des Cartes (ARTE, video with subtitles in English, German, Spain, Italian and Poland), several factors contribute to this situation: 1️⃣ Limited risk-taking and investment from European countries in the necessary technologies and infrastructure. While China has invested heavily in battery production for over a decade, Europe has not kept pace, hindered by cautious investment choices and a lack of proactive strategy. 2️⃣ The wait-and-see approach of European automakers, who hesitated to fully commit to electric vehicles, opting to rely on traditional combustion engines instead. This strategic delay has allowed Chinese manufacturers to consolidate their position, developing significant expertise and production capacity. Today, this dependence on Chinese products in such a critical sector raises important questions about Europe’s autonomy and competitiveness. 🤔 It’s time for European policymakers and industry leaders to take bold steps to drive innovation and strengthen the EV ecosystem on the continent. Massive investments in local battery production, support for startups in the sector, and a clear industrial policy are essential to secure technological independence and build a sustainable future. 💡🚗 #ElectricVehicles #EnergyTransition #AutomotiveIndustry #Innovation #Investment #China #Europe #TechnologicalSovereignty #Sustainability https://lnkd.in/dUzbfPd4
